Antigua Guatemala Cathedral Facade with Pigeons

The facade of the Antigua Guatemala Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of Saint James the Apostle, stands against a bright blue sky. Originally constructed in 1545, the cathedral has been rebuilt multiple times due to earthquakes that have plagued the region. The current structure, largely completed in the late 17th century, showcases Baroque architectural elements. It serves as the principal church of the Archdiocese of Santiago of Guatemala and remains an active place of worship and a significant historical landmark in Antigua Guatemala, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
